How to cook deliciously - Crispy Curried Chicken Thighs With Wilted Greens

1. Stage

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Make sure the oven is hot before you start the chicken since it's important to put the chicken straight into the hot oven after searing.

2. Stage

Prepare the chicken: In a large bowl, toss chicken with curry powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil until well coated.

3. Stage

Sear the chicken: Warm a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken, skin-side down, in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes, until the skin is crispy and some fat to renders out. Flip chicken over so it's skin-side up in the skillet, and pour off excess fat (reserve for cooking the vegetables, if you like).

4. Stage

Roast the chicken: Transfer the chicken in the skillet to the oven. Roast for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the skillet from the oven. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest until the greens are ready (about 5 minutes).

5. Stage

Ten minutes before the chicken is ready, begin cooking the onions: Warm another large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and tilt pan to coat the bottom with oil. Add the onions and a pinch of salt, and sauté for about 5 minutes. Stir often to prevent sticking. Your onions should be a bit translucent just a little browning. Stir in the ginger and garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

6. Stage

Wilt the greens: Add 1/3 cup of chicken broth or water to the pan and stir to combine with the onions, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil, then add all the greens. Stir to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are wilted and tender, another 2 to 5 minutes. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if needed.

7. Stage

Serve: Transfer the greens to a serving platter and place the chicken to the top, spooning some of the liquid from the pan over top (or serve right from the skillet). Add lemon wedges around and garnish with fresh herbs and thinly sliced green onion.
